Sadly, they can only ship to US addresses (no APO/FPO either). They ask you to put in your credit card number for the $1 charge, but it looks like a good deal... >Hi!

McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] You're invited: Knoxville get-together in May We're having a gathering of list members who are registered at the East Tennessee Historical Society conference* Memorial Day weekend in Knoxville, and you're invited! We've squeezed it in between the last lecture and supper on Friday -- 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. This is not going to be a fancy "do." It will, however, give us all a chance to get to know the person behind the e-mail messages. I've noted in the program that the public is invited -- it will hopefully generate more interest in our list! I don't have a finalized place yet, but I will post a message to the list prior to the event, so you can plan on it. It will also appear in the program. I already know a handful of you are coming. What I'd like to do is start making a headcount so we can be sure we've got enough pretzels and kool-aid <vbg>. So, if you're planning to attend the ETHS workshop and might drop by our get-together, please respond to me by personal e-mail sometime before May 20. Be sure to put ETHS workshop in the subject line, so I'll know that's what you're writing about (other mail sometimes gets lost in my in-box filters). And, several of my good friends are going to share vendor tables at the event -- I hope you'll come see us. We should have a whole wall of friendly folks with lots to offer. I'm doing a "Genealogy Yard Sale" type of thing, with a varied collection of books, pictures, postcards, ephemera, old bottles, and lots of other stuff I've collected over the years that might be connected to your relatives and ancestors who lived here. Our invaluable Knox County Cemetery Historian, Robert McGinnis, will be there with transcripts available, so you can purchase printouts right on the spot! Charles Reeves, the world's greatest genealogy cartographer, will be on-hand to sell you amazing maps and talk to you about his excellent and inexpensive personalized maps that make great additions to your printed family histories. Shelia Hunt, an amazing genealogist, will have tons of books and other items available. Troy Keesee, owner of Claxton Classics Books and an expert on Melungeon research, will have shelves and shelves of printed histories for you to browse through. And that's just OUR group! Who knows what the other vendors will have??? Conference info is at http://www.east-tennessee-history.org/ - ----------------------------------------------- *This has also been called the First Families Reunion, but that's only one segment of the entire conference. George Schweitzer and numerous other "name" speakers will be presenting some pretty interesting lectures over the weekend. ------------------------------ End of knoxcotn-digest V1 #83 ***************************** |
